A source close to the situation confirmed Rasheed Wallace has worked out with Heat, but source said he hasn’t decided if he’ll play again.

Before that there was a report that ‘Sheed was close to a deal with the Lakers. That report — from the very reputable CSNNE.com’s A. Sherrod Blakely — clearly came from people close to Wallace. What the Lakers’ front office is thinking on any given day is anybody’s guess. But there clearly no deal.

If ‘Sheed comes back it will be to a team he thinks is a contender, and on those teams his minutes would be limited. The question for teams is does he have enough left in the tank to help in those limited windows? In either case, at best he is a fallback option for teams after the trade deadline next week.

His 3pt shooting would sometimes be a headache…but he’s tough, rebounds, has won a championship, has a brain, etc. It’s more than what the current centers offer (joel, dexter, curry). A stretch big-man can always find work with this Heat team

Chicago is the most logical choice because they are close to getting a ring and they have his old buddy Rip Hamilton on deck. He wouldn’t have to play big minutes, but his veteran skill set could push them over the top.

juanandonly24 and oside760 if you guys could get out of jayrandles’ mothers’ basement and do sometime constructive like go on a date with a hot chick instead of playing with gadgets all damn day then you’ll know what going on in the sports world!!! And stay_247 apparently all you do is stay high because the Bulls are nowhere near this story!!!! Wow!!!

Meaningless signing. It’s too late in the year for Rasheed to get his footing. Even if healthy and in shape, his propensity to camp outside and launch 3’s (at a low percentage at this point in his career) is not what a contender needs. He would be more of a disruption at this point than an addition for any team. That’s assuming he’s in game shape and I find it difficult to believe he’s anywhere close to that.
